California Senator Babs Boxer (D-Dipshit) is set to take over the Senate’s Evironment Committee, and she promised in this AP interview that it will be her way or the highway.
Actually, strike that. She doesn’t like highways.
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who will lead the Environment and Public Works Committee beginning in January, acknowledged Tuesday she may fall short of her goal: imposing the nation’s first mandatory limits on industrial emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases.
“I have no line in the sand,” she said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Even a little step will look like a big step.”
At least it will to all the little people she believes she governs.
In the interview, Boxer also promised to end Bush administration rollbacks on environmental rules if they are not supported by science.
Guess who will be the one delgating which brand of science gets listened to?
“Any kind of weakening of environmental laws or secrecy or changes in the dead of night – it’s over,” Boxer said. “We’re going to for once, finally, make this committee an environment committee, not an anti-environment committee. … This is a sea change that is coming to this committee.”
You know, those changes that kept the US Marine’s rifle ranges open when the eco-socialists tried to shut them down to save an “endangered” sand mite. Boxer wants to focus on important stuff like that, because there is no time to waste. Never mind that under the Bush Administration and the Republican held Congress, the air has gotten cleaner, faster than it did under Clinton.
Sorry, those are facts and she’ll have none of those. Time to cue the fearmongering
“This is a potential crisis of a magnitude we’ve never seen,” she said Tuesday, explaining that her goal is to impose mandatory caps on carbon dioxide, a step vehemently opposed by Bush’s top environmental advisers.
Because said emisions from humans and human activity is nominal at best. Though it makes for good fundraising and a possile attempt to crack down on thos insidious capitalists.
Nonetheless, she promised to hear from all sides before trying to move a bill to Senate passage. “I very much want the environment to go back to being a nonpartisan issue,” she said.
I’m sure she would. Boxer would rather that she didn’t have anyone to argue that the science she is basing all of her fearmongering on is bunk and that the folks who are non-believers in the eco-socialist death cult religion would just shut up and die so that she could get on with her governing.
Enviromental science isn’t my strong suit, but if Boxer is worried about the emissions of CO2, why not pass a bill to plant more tress? Trees love CO2; it’s their air. With more trees to filter out the carbon dioxide, wouldn’t that help reduce emissions? Plus you have more trees for your treehugging constituency to hug.
“Even a little step will look like a big step.”
Little steps are called little steps because they’re little steps. Big steps are called big steps because they are big steps. Thus a little step cannot be a big step because they’re different sizes. Ms. Boxer, please hand in any diplomas you have for anything higher than kindergarden, as well as your Congressional job, since your dangerous use of semantics proves you have an inaccurate grasp on reality.
She may get booted from Congress for lack of oxygen to the brain, if she is so set on bringing in her “brand” of environmentalism.
I’m not going to elaborate on that either.
Stock up now, and keep yer powder dry!
I think by “nonpartisan issue” she means before people questioned the science behind some of the issues. Similar to “bipartisanship” meaning that while a majority of people disagree with something, Dems are looking for marxist sympathizers on the R side of the aisle to agree with them on something.
